Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi,

I am facing some problem in accessing email header in JAVA mail API.

I face this problem specially when mail is sent from Outlook Exchange.

Please check out the scenario...

I sent an email from Outlook exchange to a email client lets assume gmail or zoho mail.

Again i go to sent items and reply to the same email and in that case In-Reply-To and ReferencesHeader are null.

So i thread emails based on one of these to properties in my application.

Same scenario works well when i send email from any other email client except outlook exchange.

Please check code snippet to get In Reply To

          // InReplyTo

          String[] headerArray  = Message.getHeader("In-Reply-To");//No I18N

          if (headerArray != null && !headerArray[0].equals("")) {

                 inReplyTo =  headerArray[0];

          }

          // ReferenceHeader

          String[] headerArray  = Message.getHeader("References");//No I18N

          if (headerArray != null && !headerArray[0].equals("")) {

                 referencesHeader =  headerArray[0];

          }

Thanks N Regards
